BIOGRAPHY:
Giovanni Madonini was born March 21, 1915 in Milan, Italy and died in 1989. He received his formal art education at the Academy Brera in Milan where he received his Bachelor of Arts Degree. "Guided by his father, Antonio Madonini, Giovanni entered the Academy of Brera in Milan, at a very young age. He completed his studies in a short time with a Bachelor of Arts degree. His first personal show was put together at the age of 14 at Salesiani of Milano, where he took first place. In speaking of his cultural settings Madonini follows, almost by vocation, traditional and pictorial forms. Points of modernism appear on most of his paintings, following that imitative feeling; an artistic touch of "Macchiaioli". Charged with expression it gives the viewer incomparable vigor and a sense of competency of the visual phenomenon. This is achieved through the most natural and less researched. Sometimes richness of composition, violence of colors, and strength of subjects are well sustained through the miracle of those illusive images of reality; poetic in a sense of remaining in your mind and heart. It does not make sense to give a particular media to the art of Madonini; impressionistic or any other, only because we would lose in the dialectical. Madonini has his very personal style, the transparency of his work, the boldness of his characters and the approach of portrayals of everyday life in his own way. It reminds us of our childhood and when things were simple, and times were happy or sad for that matter."
